I'm not a fan of the huge anime swords, but that was what the skin had going for it. It was a big ugly chainsaw sword, now it's a small ugly chainsaw sword, what's the point of that? It has a crappy texture now too.

I'm a huge fan of giant anime styled greatswords. The pact Avenger is the only one that is dark and curved which is what I've wanted. I have access to the felblade but that looks alright at best. For now I'm rocking a ceremonial which is my second max greatsword.

The old skin has a real cruddy low-resolution texture. My guess is that either a non-finalised model got through accidentally, which they have now replaced with the final one, or they ran out of time to finish all models before release and are now going through doing them up.

The new one just looks too clean - they could make it look more sword like with a bit of grunge on it.

I really liked that sword too... Was wondering what happened to it. I play with max graphic settings and the sword suddenly looked like it came out of a very (VERY) old Playstation game. The contrast with the rest of my character (armor details) is just ridiculous lol...

Oh well. Switched to Mystic Claymore skin this morning. Still going to keep the pact GS just in case they switch it back to what it was.

imo, the new skin looks better. *shrug*

Yeah, the overall shape looks good, but the rendering is just too awful. In game, it looks like it's made of cheap plastic.
